Training Appearance by Tony Sanneh

 05/12/2011…The U16 boys were awarded the pleasure of playing with a former World Cup player during their training session on Thursday morning on the campus of Shattuck-St. Mary’s.  Tony Sanneh, a product of Minnesota youth soccer, represented US Soccer as a scout during the training session.

Tony was there to evaluate the U16 boys as a group and on an individual bases. After a short period of time, he couldn’t take it anymore and had to jump in and play.  He participated in the possession warm-up, finishing game, and the 11 aside game at the end of training. He concluded the practice by talking with the team and giving his feedback on the way the team trained, and on the performance of certain players.

Head Coach Bob Moullin was delighted to have Tony come out to watch the boys and said “It was a pleasure having an ex-World Cup star not only playing and evaluating our squad, but also giving players and coaches excellent pointers to help them get better!”

On behalf of Shattuck-St. Mary’s soccer, we would like to thank Tony for coming out and spending quality time at our training session.
